The students brainstormed "at" words that say "ah" such as father and grandfather. They then chose three words to write three times and they wrote today's date once. We finished up with some silent reading and stickers.
MATH
Today we looked at division for the first time. The students explored taking a number and dividing it into equal groups.
For example:
8 divided into 4 groups would look like this:
XX
XX
XX
XX
Which means 8 ÷ 4 = 2
where 8 is the total number of items,
4 is the number of groups, and
2 is the number in each group.
SCIENCE
We watched a BrainPop on Humans and the Environment. It talked about CONSERVING, CLEANING UP, and CHIMING IN. We need to convserve energy and non-renewable resources by turning off lights, turning down the heat a few degrees, reusing things, and buying less. We need to clean-up our Earth by putting garbage in the garbage as well as recycling whenever possible. We need to chime in and tell our family and friends about things they can do to save our Earth.
Tomorrow is Earth Day so remember to pack a garbage-free lunch if possible. Also, bring work, gardening or dish gloves for our In-Motion garbage pick-up. We are starting our garbage pick-up at 2:40 if any parents would like to join us.

SHOW & SHARE
The new theme is a favourite book or hobby. Today we heard that our classmates enjoy building models and collecting hockey cards. We also heard about the books "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Adventure Quest."
** Today's chicken lunch was not as yummy as hoped for, some of the chicken was a little pale, so as a result on Wednesday, May 5th all the students in the school will receive 2 pieces of pizza (from the Co-op) and a milk (from the School Community Council) at no cost. There will be no choice in the type of pizza the students receive, so if your child is a fussy eater then they will need to bring a lunch that day.
